Photo of Hollywood Blvd Band Hollywood Blvd Band "They just crushed it Loved their vibe Highly recomend them Took me back with the Funk & Motown" Based in London, Ontario 5th November 2026 ??? - Army & Navy Photo of Midnight Shakers Midnight Shakers "We enjoyed every set we could be a part of! Loved the music selection and your interaction with your audiences! The best music / sound, we went out of our way to catch their sets each night!!!" Based in Barrie, Ontario 3rd October 2026 Lori Mathieu Photo of SaxoDance SaxoDance "SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)" Based in Gatineau, Quebec 25th September 2026 Larissa C. - Wedding Photo of MG Entertainment, Inc. MG Entertainment, Inc. "We booked WOW- We're One World for our fundraising gala event and they put on an amazing show. The mix of music was great, the band was professional and sounded so solid. They showed up in full glam attire to our elevated event. Communication was easy and we really enjoyed hosting them. Our crowd was enjoying dancing and singing along to all the songs through the night and gave great reviews. We are booking them again for our event this year!"
